Verse 1 (Soft emotional vocals, glamorous sadness)
Dead roses by the bathroom sink
You always forgot to throw them out
Now they’re sitting there dying slow
Kinda like the way we left things
My perfume still on your jacket collar
Bet your new girl notices it
Funny how you only miss me
Now there’s nobody to ruin it with
Pre-Chorus (Breathy melancholic singing)
Now every quiet room
Sounds a little different
Guess losing me finally hit
When there was nobody left to blame
Chorus (Big cinematic dark-pop chorus)
Dead roses and perfume
That’s what’s left of me and you
Your apartment still smells the same
But I don’t say your name anymore
Now you’re up late replaying
Every fight you stopped fixing
Funny how love gets beautiful
Right after you lose it
Verse 2 (Dreamy detached vocals, subtly bitter)
I heard you still drive by my street
Like muscle memory or regret
And your friends stopped bringing me up
Guess they know you’re not over it yet
You used to act like I was difficult
Now I’m the standard after all
Funny how hard it is to replace
A girl who gave you everything
Pre-Chorus (Layered haunting vocals)
You only see the damage
After the smoke clears
Some people don’t know what they have
Till it disappears
Chorus (Full emotional anthem chorus)
Dead roses and perfume
That’s what’s left of me and you
Your apartment still smells the same
But I don’t say your name anymore
Now you’re up late replaying
Every fight you stopped fixing
Funny how love gets beautiful
Right after you lose it
Bridge (Soft spoken into emotional belt)
Maybe we were too young
Or maybe you just got comfortable
Either way
You loved me hardest after I left
Final Chorus (Huge emotional ending)
Dead roses and perfume
Still lingering in your room
You swore eventually I’d fade
But some things don’t disappear that way
Now every song sounds like us
And every silence feels too much
Funny how love gets beautiful
Right after you lose it
Outro (Soft exhausted vocals)
You only miss me now that it’s too late
